1.
With the tailgate closed, check the tailgate spoiler for delamination by pulling on the front edge of the spoiler at the corners. (The spoiler has two
pieces bonded together and the bond may have broken.) If the spoiler top plate separates from the base, replace the spoiler.
2.
Open the tailgate.
3.
Remove the access plug, then remove the tailgate spoiler mounting nuts (three total).
4.
Gently close the tailgate, then lift up on the spoiler to release its two clips.
5.
Remove the high mount brake light bulb socket from its housing in the spoiler. Unclip the high mount brake light wire harness from the spoiler
(five places). Note which clip goes with which colored tape location on the harness.
6.
Disconnect the rear window washer tube.
7.
Remove the spoiler, and turn it upside down. Check for broken plastic weld points. If any of the weld points are broken, replace the spoiler.
8.
Peel off the weatherstrip rings from the I-bolts on each end. Make sure the I-bolts slide freely. If necessary, use a utility knife to trim any flashing
from the slots. Replace the two clips.
9.
Remove the foam strip that runs across the entire back edge of the spoiler.
